Probably super dumb but my temper got the better of me
(hexbear.net)
Sent this to a lib friend of mine. Hasnt responded yet. He previously harshly scolded me for saying I wouldn't mourn Carter's death. He also complained abour leftists speaking horribly about world leaders. I probably shouldnt burn bridges but Im just so fucking mad at libs continuing to prioritize civility politics over actually doing or saying anything meaningful. Not to self-aggrandize obviously Im not doing activism feuding with my friends lmao. Anyway I guess Im still angry and I couldn't help needling him. I probably need to grow up and let shit go lol.
I'd also like to know why OP does this kinda thing. The better I understand their thought process, the better I can interact with these types of people
well im not op, but if you're interested in my motivation for why i might do something like this, let's talk! first, is it the fact op is ribbing a "lib friend" that you don't get? or is it more that you disagree with ops enjoyment that a person is dying?
remember, im not op
You can call for shit heads to die, that should never be a problem
The "ribbing" here is crazy aggressive and instigative, it certainly wouldn't inspire any change in the way their "friend" feels or thinks at all. OP's messages come off as self-fellating and obnoxious, and I see this same energy in people who I share local communities with. Trump lovers at work will say this kinda stuff, radical communist friends/friends-of-friends will be fighting in group chats with less woke people all the time about news like this too.
This seems mad toxic to say to anyone you call a friend, and like a good way to alienate instead of support. Feels like this Perry Bible Fellowship comic.
Anyways I'm really wondering why this feels good to say for OP. And reallly really I am wondering what to respond with when people say similar intentionally inflammatory stuff. You go to a birthday party, or a wedding, or somewhere else filled with drunk and politically charged adults and 7/10 times (for me at least) there will be a similarly vindictive individual trying to start fights calling for the death of X Y and Z. I'd love to get into their heads and figure out how to defuse the social stress for them. And it feels easier to ask someone anonymous on Lemmy than it does to try and pry someone's more extreme thoughts out of them in real life.
Maybe there are valid reasons why some people feel this way. And maybe you should investigate why you don't.
